Overview
Tea Tourism is a relatively new concept in the world and Darjeeling is taking a lead in this area. There are 80 odd operational tea gardens in Darjeeling that span across thousands of acres of land area on open hill slopes. High on the hills with cool breeze and misty weather, planters and workers come together to form a wonderland where tea grows in the finest form like nowhere else in the world. You will stay in a Bungalow that was typically the residence of a British tea planter built during the old colonial time. Food served is made of fresh organic produce from the backyard garden. You wake up and sip a cup of the finest aromatic tea that was plucked fresh from the gardens, a brand that has made a great name for itself in the world. Hence, we have created the best Tour Itinerary for you to experience the Darjeeling Tea Tourism.
